Chapter. 2. Mysterious Cave

Yuan Liong entered the cave and continued exploring. However, this was truly very different from what Yuan Liong had expected. This wasn't a cave, just a dark passage that could be explored by one person alone.

After all, this passage didn't allow him to climb back up the mountain, rather, it was more like he continued to descend towards the bottom.

Yuan Liong didn't care, he continued to walk slowly while holding on to the damp stone wall of the passage. Even though the pain struck again, this was the only choice the boy had to find a way in life.

“Damn, this is tiring.” Yuan Liong couldn't help but grumble a little. How come? He hasn't even filled his stomach since yesterday. Hunger will certainly attack him along with fatigue and pain.

Time continued to roll by, Yuan Liong couldn't count it at all until the end of the dark tunnel appeared before the boy's eyes. There was a little dim light there.

“Finally, the end of this passage is in sight. The sky still has eyes.” Yuan Liong had changed feelings quickly.

Just because of seeing that, the feeling of tiredness and pain reduced a lot. This is replaced by a high of ecstasy as the possibilities of life's path have increased.

Yuan Liong immediately rushed over and hoped that it was the way out of the ravine.

However, sometimes expectations always conflict with facts. Unbeknownst to Yuan Liong, this dark passage was a path that led to the bottom of the ravine.

“Ah, this is the bottom, I thought this abyss had no bottom at all.” Yuan Liong didn't feel disappointed even though he didn't get out of the situation.

There was even another excitement as if he was gaining valuable experience from this. It was just like a child who had just gotten a new toy.

The sight of the bottom of the ravine made Yuan Liong very surprised.

This was of course completely unimaginable before. Yuan Liong, who had lived for many years on Thunder Mountain, did not imagine that at the bottom of the ravine of this lonely mountain, there was such an extraordinary pool.

It was a pond that looked more like a small lake. However, the extraordinary thing is that inside it there is continuous violent lightning and it does not stop at all.

“How could there be a pool containing lightning in this place? Well, in the end, I still couldn't catch the fish in the pond. Maybe no fish can even live there.” Yuan Liong could only grumble because he hadn't filled his stomach.

“Forget it, maybe there are other things I can eat.” Yuan Liong had ignored the condition of the lightning pool. Now he focused his vision in another direction at the bottom of the ravine. At least he found dense trees.

This child is already used to hunting and knows various types of wild plants and edible fruits.

Yuan Liong immediately moved toward the trees. He looked around for a moment, but the fruits he found were not the familiar kind. Neither type was recognized by the boy.

The hungry Yuan Liong couldn't delay the demands of his stomach. In the end, he picked up one of the silvery blue fruits the size of a peach. Yes, that choice was quite blind, but Yuan Liong had no other choice. This is better than starving to death.

In essence, it is indeed a peach. However, it had mutated due to absorbing the lightning energy from the lightning pool.

These lightning peaches provide a body-strengthening effect for Yuan Liong when he eats them properly. This twelve-year-old boy only uses the fruit to cover his hunger.

When he ate the thunder peach, Yuan Liong also felt another kind of suffering. The tongue and mouth seemed to have become numb as if they had been stung by a sudden stream of lightning. “Damn, although this fruit can relieve hunger, it is very torturous.”

Even so, Yuan Liong didn't care much about various pains. Since yesterday until now he has been in constant pain. This gave him a feeling of invulnerability—absolute abandonment.

A strange thing happened when the lightning peach fell into the boy's stomach. There was an extremely warm current of pure air suddenly surging there. The flow of pure air continued to flow throughout Yuan Liong's body. It was very refreshing. Nevertheless, it still had no healing effect on Yuan Liong's several broken ribs.

After filling his stomach sufficiently, Yuan Liong returned to look at the situation at the bottom of the ravine. He found another cave opening. “Hopefully this is a cave and I can use it as a temporary resting place.”

Yuan Liong walked towards the cave and entered it. As the Boy expected, this was a real cave. Yuan Liong thought this cave was pitch black. It is very bright, on the ceiling of the cave there are pearls the size of chicken eggs attached.

The pearl emits light that illuminates the cave. The cave passage is not very wide, about two by three spears. On the left and right sides of the passage, there are stone rooms. At the end of the passage is another stone room. There are three stone rooms in the cave.

Yuan Liong pushed open the stone door of the room at the end of the cave passage, the scene inside made Yuan Liong stupid, he had never seen a medicine refining cauldron/pot in the room. The floor of the room was filled with circles, and the room itself had a very strong medicinal smell.

Even people who didn't understand would know that it was the aroma of medicine. The pain all over Yuan Liong's body had disappeared by itself with every inhalation of the aroma of this medicine.

The efficacy of this medicinal aroma is truly amazing as if it adds vitality and a strong life force to those who inhale it.

Yuan Liong turned around and, ignoring the smell of medicine, returned to the other room, the room to the left of the hall.

There is nothing strange in this room, it's just that in the right corner of the room there is a chest with strange lines circling it. The lines are also silvery blue, it is as if they are alive and continue to circle the chest as the sole guardian of the chest.

With these lines, the chest does not rot over time, this proves that the materials used to make it are strong.

There are no barriers to entering this cave, nor are there any locks or safes on the chests. This proves that the previous owner of the cave was very confident that no humans would dare to enter this ravine.

Maybe because the ravine is too deep when viewed from above, it makes people who are just passing by think this ravine is just a black hole. Entering a black hole like this is the same as wasting one's life for nothing.

Yes, in the end, the cave owner's prediction proved true for other humans. But, not against Yuan Liong who accidentally discovered this place after thousands of years had passed.

Yuan Liong walked towards the chest and reached out his hand to try to open the chest.

Spend!! ….

The silvery blue lines stung Yuan Liong. It completely prevented the boy from holding the chest. “Damn, even things like this aren't friendly at all. It's very sad.”

Yuan Liong didn't force himself, and said to himself, “Perhaps this requires a certain item—the master key to open it.”

Thinking so, Yuan Liong immediately left the room and headed to another room.

Leaving speculation in my heart about the chest there. Can the chest not be opened? Would Yuan Liong obtain extraordinary techniques and training methods in the chest?
